Monocalcium Phosphate

Introduction of Monocalcium Phosphate:
1. Monocalcium phosphate, a chemical compound, is in the shape of white monoclinic crystal powder.
2. Odorless and favorless, it is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and acetic acid, slightly soluble in water, and insoluble in ethanol.
3. As the most of aquatic animals absorb the phosphorus in food by the rectum, so a soluble form of phosphorus is needed.

Uses of Monocalcium Phosphate:
1. Monocalcium phosphate, as an auxiliary feed, has a wider applicaition scope than other feed phosphorus, for example: dicalcium phosphate, bone meal, tricalcium phosphate. It is applicable to aquatic animals, poultry and livestock, which can promote feed digestion, increase the weight of the animals, and treat rickets etc.
2. In food processing, monocalcium phosphate can be used as dough regulator, firming agent, leavening agent, nutrition supplement, chelating agent and tooth rubbing agent.
